Elements of Family Style

Elements of Family Style: Elegant Spaces for Everyday Life / Erin Gates, 355 p.

Designs for families with young children and animals, including advice on carpet and upholstery types best suited for frequent cleanings, wear and tear,etc.

Yes, there is practical information, but mostly there is design: attractive, creative, whimsical, and fun, but almost certainly costly.  Occasional suggestions of items that can be found at Ikea and Home Depot, as well as breakouts of things appropriate for splurging and those that are best for saving, aren't enough to make this book more than eye candy.
